Shattered Stars by Hilary Norman Great Story

This spellbinding story from the best-selling author of Château Ella and In Love and Friendship tells of a family brutally torn apart and the survivors' quest for reunion

The story of the Cesaretti family begins on a hot, tragic Tuscan night with an act of suicidal despair that leaves the children at the mercy of a callous Florentine aristocrat. Giulietta, terribly injured, is abandoned as an orphan and grows up as Juliet, an English girl tormented by half-formed memories of pain and rage. Luciano, her twin, becomes a talented, carefree young novelist - haunted all the while by an inexplicable psychic link with the sister he believes dead. Their sister Francesca struggles through a nightmare of grief and terror before she merges as a gifted photographer, finding success and the greatest love of her life in America.

Driven by forces they understand only dimly, the three scattered Cesarettis begin their obsessive search for the family they lost so many years before. But the savage blows of fate that first thrust them apart have marked them all - and the hereditary madness that is their legacy waits to strike again.

Played out on a landscape that spreads from Italy to London to the South of France and to America, the novel moves inexorably toward its dramatic mystical climax. People with real flesh-and-blood characters, Shattered Stars is a novel of passion and warmth, of destructive bitterness and fear, and other inescapable and bewitching bonds of blood and love.

The book has suffered a bit of damp and so has some brown spots on the pages, but still a great read. The book has 379 pages.
